PrefaceThis book describes the functions and services associated with the MO:DCA architecture.

This book is a reference, not a tutorial. It complements individual product publications, but does not describeproduct implementations of the architecture.

Who Should Read This BookThis book is for systems programmers and other developers who need such information to develop or adapt aproduct or program to interoperate with other presentation products.

AFP ConsortiumThe Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) architectures began as the strategic, general purposedocument and information presentation architecture for the IBM® Corporation. The first specifications andproducts go back to 1984. Although all of the components of the architecture have grown over the years, themajor concepts of object-driven structures, print integrity, resource management, and support for high printspeeds were built in from the start.

In the early twenty-first century, IBM saw the need to enable applications to create color output that isindependent from the device used for printing and to preserve color consistency, quality, and fidelity of theprinted material. This need resulted in the formation, in October 2004, of the AFP Color Consortium™(AFPCC™). The goal was to extended the AFP architecture with support for full-color devices includingsupport for comprehensive color management. The purpose of doing this via a consortium consisting of theprimary AFP architecture users was to build synergism with partners from across the relevant industries, suchas hardware manufacturers that produce printers as well as software vendors of composition, work flow, viewerand transform tools. More than 30 members came together in regular meetings and work group sessions tocreate the AFP Color Management Object Content Architecture™ (CMOCA™), and the extensions required tosupport CMOCA within the other components of the AFP architecture. A major milestone was reached by theAFP Color Consortium with the release of the specifications of all components of the AFP Color ManagementArchitecture™ (ACMA™) in May 2006.

Due to the success of the AFP Color Consortium, it was decided to broaden the scope of the consortium effortsand in September 2006 IBM announced its plans to open up the complete scope of the AFP architecture to theconsortium. In June 2007, IBM's role as founding member of the consortium was transferred to the InfoPrint®Solutions Company, an IBM/Ricoh® joint venture. In February 2009, the consortium was incorporated under anew set of bylaws with tiered membership and shared governance resulting in the creation of a formal openstandards body called the AFP Consortium™ (AFPC™). Ownership of and responsibility for the AFParchitectures was transferred at that time to the AFP Consortium.

iv MO:DCA Reference

How to Use This BookThis book is divided into eight chapters, six appendixes, and a glossary.

• Chapter 1, “A Presentation Architecture Perspective” introduces the AFP architectures and positions theMO:DCA architecture as a strategic presentation data stream architecture.

• Chapter 2, “Introduction to the MO:DCA Architecture” introduces the concepts that form the basis of theMO:DCA architecture.

• Chapter 3, “MO:DCA Overview” provides an overview of MO:DCA data structures and their use.

• Chapter 4, “MO:DCA Objects” provides the structure definitions for MO:DCA objects.

• Chapter 6, “MO:DCATriplets” provides the syntax and semantics for MO:DCA triplet data structures.

• Chapter 7, “MO:DCA Interchange Sets” provides complete descriptions of the MO:DCA interchange sets anddescribes how products can become valid generators and receivers of the MO:DCA architecture.

• Chapter 8, “MO:DCA Function Sets” provides complete descriptions of the MO:DCA function sets anddefines the extensions made by each registered function set to specific interchange sets of the MO:DCAarchitecture.

• Appendix A, “Color Resources” provides information on color resources and on color to grayscaleconversion.

• Appendix B, “Resource Access Table (RAT)” defines the Resource Access Table, which is used to locate andprocess resources such as TrueType and OpenType fonts.

• Appendix C, “MO:DCA Migration Functions” provides the syntax and semantics for MO:DCA migrationstructured fields, triplets, parameters, and provides the structure definitions for MO:DCA migration objects.

• Appendix D, “MO:DCA Registry” provides a registry for object type identifiers, media type identifiers, andcolor profile identifiers.

• Appendix E, “Cross-References” provides tables of MO:DCA structured fields and triplets sorted by identifierand by name.

• Appendix F, “Object OID Algorithms” provides the algorithms for generating Object Identifiers (OIDs) such asTrueType/OpenType font OIDs, Color Management Resource (CMR) OIDs, and data object OIDs.

How to Read the Syntax DiagramsThroughout this book, syntax is described using the following formats. The syntax of the structured field, theprincipal MODCA data structure, is shown with a horizontal representation, followed by a table that lists thedata elements contained in the structured field. The syntax of the triplet, the secondary MO:DCA datastructure, is shown using the table only. Six basic data types are used in the syntax descriptions:CODE Architected constantCHAR Character string, which may consist of any code pointsBITS Bit stringUBIN Unsigned binarySBIN Signed binaryUNDF Undefined type

Structured Field Introducer


SF Length (2B) ID = X'D3TTCC' Flags (1B) ReservedX'0000'

Structured Field Data

The meanings of the elements of the horizontal representation are as follows:

• The Structured Field Introducer, which identifies the length and the function or type of the structured field, iscomposed of the following parameters:

Element Meaning

SF Length The total length of the structured field including the length of the SF Lengthelement.

ID = X'D3TTCC' The structured field identifier—consisting of the structured field class, type,and category codes—that uniquely identifies each MO:DCA structured field.

Flags The set of bits or flags that identify if the structured field is segmented of if astructured field extender or padding is to be used.

• The Structured Field Data, which provides the structured field's effect, is contained in the set of parametersdescribed in the table.

For a detailed discussion of the data elements comprising MO:DCA structured fields, see “MO:DCA StructuredField Syntax” on page 18.

Data

The syntax for a MO:DCA data structure is as follows:

Offset Type Name Range Meaning M/O Exc

The field'sbyte offset.

Thefield'sdatatype.

Name of field, ifapplicable.

Range of validvalues, ifapplicable.

Meaning or purpose of the dataelement.

MorO

Code

Certain fields may be denoted in the Meaning column as reserved. A reserved field is a parameter that has nofunctional definition at the current time, but may have at some time in the future. All bytes in any field that theMO:DCA architecture defines as a reserved field should be given a value of zero by generating applications.Receiving applications should ignore any values contained in a reserved field.

vi MO:DCA Reference

Additional columns appear to the right of the Meaning column. These columns are:

M/O Mandatory or optional

Exc Exception code for the exception conditions that are possible for the data element. See“Exception Conditions” on page 71 for further information concerning exception conditions.

The following is an example of the MO:DCA syntax:


SF Length (2B) ID = X'D3AFD8' Flags (1B) Reserved;X'0000'
